ABSTRACT
Mega sport events have been in the focus of scientific work since years.
Most of the authors deal with effects, impacts or the legacy of them,
concentrating on economic aspects in that field. This study uses a stakeholder
approach and tries to examine peculiarly the whole range of the Olympic Games
of Rio 2016 by using a qualitative research method. Stakeholders from Latin
America were asked about their
expectations and perceived experiences regarding the first games in South
America. Even if from different
perspectives, respondents expected and perceived both positive and negative
effects through RIO 2016. Their wishes were related to their individual
development, further development of sports, intercultural exchange, and social
learning. A similarly varied picture may be observed regarding the experiences
perceived. In order to determine a comprehensive picture of RIO 2016 and its legacy,
it is important to do a short-term as well as a long-term investigation.
KEYWORDS
